Funny because I had just noticed your sig and thought people on the GB would make big fun of that. Might be better to add...."baby steps"

Most people would point not only to it not being meaningful but most of the other teams are resting players.

I am glad Koko wants everyone to play, saying "they are here to play and not on vacation" and that guys want to play.

haha Im trying hard to have thick enough skin to not worry about it, but I'm definitely tempted to heed your suggestion. At the end of the day though, I'm right about Booker. So, I shouldn't feel as insecure as I do about it.

You shouldn't feel insecure. There's just a chance that people will start poking fun and posting stuff like "Suns fans brag about winning summer league...that's how bad things are for them..."...but maybe not....either someone grabs it and runs with it and others chime in or no one notices. As long as no one lets posts like that bother them, no big deal...but maybe not "baby steps"...but "the beginning of many great things to come" or something would deter stuff like that..but ultimately who really cares if people make fun...hopefully we will be getting the last laugh.

With the risk of making all Suns fans look stupid, I started to change my sig. But then I considered this: "Suns fans brag about winning summer league...that's how bad things are for them..." That is 100% accurate! That *is* how bad things have had gotten for us and that is exactly why I am excited. And anyone who hates on that, just doesn't like to see people happy. I'm good.

True...though it doesn't appear any or at least many other teams are even trying to win, so it could be seen as a mockery, but anyway, I agree...things have gotten bad enough for us that we will be excited to win it.

But you can always work with that...if you have fans of teams who have won a bunch of championships you just say..."were you there for the first one like I will be or just jump on later and talk about all those past titles?"

haha or I could go with the sure-to-frustrate, "sure, your team wasn't 'trying' to win. That's what kids used to tell me right after I got done mopping the floor with them."

Reporter: what do you think about defenses collapsing on Deandre with so much focus?
Booker: "They wont be able to do that with me on the floor."

Lol, I for one, think thats a great signature.

My school won one of those **** little tournaments in men's college bball... you know like the old spice classic or something.. and someone photoshopped a picture of that banner in between our conference titles/national titles... it made me laugh for well over a decade

Where would you rank last year's Booker on the 2004-05 team?
